i was born in the midst of the sea [vikings mix]
Eleven songs about the sea and the people she swallows whole.
Art by the insanely talented flightjacket!
sail - awolnation
maybe i'm a different breed
maybe i'm not listening
...sail
darkness darkness - solas
darkness darkness hide the yearning
for the things that cannot be
keep my mind from constant turning
towards the things i cannot see
down the burning ropes - james vincent mcmorrow
And words that once would cut like a knife,
They just hang in the cloud and you're
Pushed by the lord,
But you're pulled by the crowds and
You're overboard, you're overboard
Oh my God, she's overboard
My love she's overboard
edge of the world - atli ovarsson
And the lightning strikes
And the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones
Through the sailor's soul
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except a rolling ocean
rugadh mi 'n teis meadhan na mara - julie fowlis
[in english]
I was born in the midst of the sea
Three leagues off the shore
...my father was, like his forefathers, a seaman
he lived obscurely, without glory
poor soul, no one praises his memory
the sea - briege murphy
but i am just his woman
he won't come home to me
for my love he has a mistress
she's the sea
golden boy - natalie merchant
Beauty untamed
Stupid and wild
Poster boy, you're society's child
Cut your teeth
Cut your mouth
Cut it out
Meteor rise from obscurity
All it took was a killing spree
And the whole world was lying at your feet
Golden boy
the storm - lifehouse
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
so why am I ten feet under and upside down?
Water's getting harder to tread
with these waves washing over my head
timshel - mumford & sons
Cold is the water
It freezes your already cold mind
Already cold, cold mind
And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substance
But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand
your bones - of monsters and men
Distant rhythm of the drum
As we drifted towards the storm.
Baby lion lost his teeth,
Now they're swimming in the sea.
So hold on.
Hold on to what we are.
Hold on to your heart.
